Athletic Development - Advanced Sports Training Techniques

“If you don’t do what’s best for your body, you’re the one who comes up on the short end.”
-Julius Erving

An elite athlete is expected to run like a finely tuned engine; the heart and muscle pumping like pistons. However, though the athlete may be built for high performance, he will only run as well as the quality of his/her fuel. An individualized nutrition program is essential for those needing to gain lean muscle tissue, reduce body fat, repair trauma to tissue, speed recovery, and many other concerns. It is the goal of Fit-Zone’s nutritional programs is to achieve a steady state of ideal health and optimal function.

All too often, nutrition programs are designed using a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Fit-Zone’s Metabolic Typing Advisors recognize that these approaches fall short when determining an athlete’s ideal “fuel mix.” Every sport has specific demands, and each athlete has specific goals, both of which influence dietary intake. An athlete’s biochemistry, including how they utilize food for energy, is as individualistic as their thumbprint. For these reasons, Fit-Zone’s nutritional programming is highly specific and individualistic.

Metabolic Typing
Metabolic Typing is a method used to determine how nutrients behave at the cellular level. Computer analysis of one’s dietary, physical and psychological traits, allow Fit-Zone’s Metabolic Typing Advisors to develop nutrition programs based on how foods react in YOUR body. This assures that foods are being used for energy, versus fat storage. Finding this ideal “fuel mix” is necessary for sustaining high levels of energy and mental clarity, while suppressing mood swings and unwanted weight gain.

Supplementation
The supplementation market is flooded with products claiming remarkable benefits. However, very few supplements provide a performance edge. Just as important, is the negative impact many supplements may have on athletes. For these reasons, Fit-Zone recommends supplementation on an individual basis only after testing for biochemical imbalances. The purpose of Fit-Zone’s supplement programs is to rebalance the body’s regulatory systems and replenish vitamins and minerals lost during sports activity. This approach supports the maintenance of a healthy and highly productive athlete.
